Liverpool Way

Good start for the new boss. He’d been pretty defeatist before this game, making some comment about not liking our chances of getting a win or something. I don’t actually think he believed that, it’s just his way. I remember last season (maybe even the season before?) I absolutely slated him for some defeatist comment [...]
2010 World Cup Round Up (Semi’s & Final)
Congratulations to Spain, just about worthy Champions I’d say even though Germany ran them very close as the best team of the tournament. The final was far from being a classic, as Holland adopted a 1970’s Leeds United roughhouse approach to the game and killed it as a spectacle. Total Football eh? File that one [...]
2010 World Cup Round Up (Quarter Finals)
Great to see Brazil go out, and even funnier to see them undone by someone playing them at their own game. All tournament Brazil have been diving, playacting, cheating. Of course they aren’t the only ones, most teams in the tournament have been doing it. But along with Spain, they’ve probably been the worst. Then [...]
The King is alive, but long live Red Roy – by Sachin Nakrani
“The start of a brand new era”, read a headline on Liverpool’s official website this week. It was for a story announcing “day one” of the club’s “partnership” with Standard Chartered Bank. In truth, however, it could have been a banner announcing the general mood of Kopites right now. A brand new era indeed, one [...]
2010 World Cup Round Up (Round of 16)
Uruguay became the first team through to the last eight with a 2-1 victory over South Korea. Both goals came from the impressive Suarez, and the South Americans were good value for the win even though they sat off too much in the 2nd half and allowed South Korea to get back into it. They’ve [...]
2010 World Cup Round Up (Day 15)
Brazil v Portugal was brutal. Diving, playacting, snidey challenges, trying to get other players sent off, it was like a Chelsea training session. But you know what, it’s hardly surprising is it when FIFA do nothing to discourage it. Kaka had to sit this one out. Why? Because he was the victim of the worst [...]
2010 World Cup Round Up (Days 11-14)
Portugal destroyed poor old North Korea in the opening game of Day 11. The first half wasn’t bad for North Korea, but after the break the Portuguese played some lovely stuff and in the second half Ronaldo really turned on the style, the odious little turd. I can’t shake the feeling that they [...]
2010 World Cup Round Up (Days 7-10)
Day 7 saw Argentina kick things off against South Korea, and they laid down a marker with an impressive 4-1 win. The day before Maradona had caused a bit of a storm in his press conference by attacking Pele and Platini. No idea what they did to incur Diego’s wrath, but he said “Pele should [...]
2010 World Cup Round Up (Days 4-6)
Day Four got under way with a game that had a significant amount of interest for us. Dirk Kuyt against Daniel Agger. Both got on the scoresheet, but sadly for Agger both goals went past Thomas Sorensen as Holland ran out comfortable winners. Denmark will be alright though I reckon, as Japan and Cameroon are [...]
2010 World Cup Round Up (Days 1-3)
Those damn horns. What’s the point? Is this the new trend in football, just try and make the most annoying sound possible and then keep it going for 90 minutes? Well it’s not new, John Motson has made a career out of that. Do the selfish fucks who sit there blowing those infernal things not know [...]
2010 World Cup Preview
I love the World Cup, always have. The first one I remember was ‘82, I was 9 years old and I can vaguely remember getting in from school and settling down to watch the games. I don’t remember too much England related though, it was Socrates, Zico, Falcao, Eder & co that made the biggest [...]
Season’s End – by Glen Ullyot
Well, that’s a relief that the mancs didn’t get 19 and all doubt was pretty much erased when Wigan went behind 2-0 and a man down. However, by the end of that match I felt dirty that they’d won, with Drogba and Kalou’s air band celebrations and the hypocrisy of Big JT carrying around his [...]
Weekend Round Up (24-25 April 2010)
An action packed weekend at the top and bottom of the table. The mancs kicked things off against in-form Spurs, and the North Londoner’s good run came to a predictably shuddering halt as the mancs were awarded two penalties in a 3-1 win. I know, I was shocked too. Have to point the finger at [...]
Burnley v Liverpool – Match Preview
Burnley have lost 13 of 16 games since Brian Laws took over from Owen Coyle. We have not won in our last seven league games away from Anfield and come into this on the back of a grueling trip to Spain that resulted in yet another defeat, our 18th of the season. I [...]

Atletico Madrid 1 Liverpool 0 – Match Reaction
Here we go again. Lille, Benfica and now Atletico have all beaten us 1-0 away in the Europa League, but let’s just hope that the Madrid side go the same way as the others and get swept away in the return game at Anfield. I saw nothing in this game to suggest that won’t be [...]

Atletico Madrid v Liverpool – Match Preview
After all the trouble the team and fans have had to go through to get to this fixture, let’s hope it proves to be worth the effort. A trip to Madrid to face Atletico is never going to be easy, particularly with Torres on the sidelines, but I don’t think this game is as difficult [...]

Weekend Round Up (17-18 April 2010)
Pretty bad weekend for us. In fact, it couldn’t have gone any worse. Every result went against us and then we lost Torres for the season. Technically, you could of course say that Man City losing was a result that went our way, but it sure as hell didn’t feel like it, did it? Chelsea’s [...]
